About the event
Dr Carlos Ramos, cardiologist from Honduras, shares the importance of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) for the prognosis of patients with heart failure: *The correction of the Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction is a therapeutic goal since it is a predictor of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure ¹ Left ventricular ejection fraction can be improved with medical treatment ² Ivabradine improves LVEF in patients with heart failure by +15% ³
